In the preferred em odiment of the inventhe manmembers 2, of the main frame.

tion shown in the -drawings the machine comprises a main frame formed with base portions '1, end members 2 connected at their upper ends by a substantially channel shaped member or cross bar 3, and a bed or table 4 tion at each operation through a pair of gear wheels 7 meshing with pinions 8 fixed on anintermediate shaft 9 journaled in bearings in the frame members 2 and 5. The shaft 9 is driven from a constantly running shaftlO, journaled in the frame, through a pinion l1 fixed to the hub 147 of the loose member 146 of a suitable friction clutch mounted on the shaft 10, a pinion 12 loosely mounted on the shaft 9, and a suitable clutch, one member 13? of which is formed on the hub of pinion 12 and the other member 13 of which is slidably held to shaft 9 to rotate therewith, as more fully hereinafter described. The shaft 10 is adapted to be driven from any suitable source of power, being provided with the usual loose and fast pulleys 14 and 15 and a suitable fly-wheel 16.

The side walls 17 and the endwalls 18 of the pan are bent or stamped up from the flat sheet. metal blank shown in Fig. 27, by means of a vertically reciprocating male die member or block 19, which cooperates with a pair of side-wall forming members- 20, adj ustably held to the table or bed 4 in the man ner and for the purpose hereinafter described, and a-pair of end-wall formingmembersor blocks 21. The die block 19 is held to a vertically reciprocating cross-head 22, by means of'a rod 23, the upper end of which is threaded andextends' through an aperture in the cross-head 22, and is adjustably held to; the cross-head 22' by means of suitable lock nuts 24 and25. Each of the end-wall forming blocks 21. is detachably'held to a bracket 88 supported between the lower ends of a pair of depending .arms 26, the upper ends of which are fixed to blocks 27, slidably held in under-cut ways 28 formed in opposite sides of a vertically reciprocating cross-head 29. The cross-head 29 is formed of side members 30, connected at their ends by caps or cross members 31, forming a substantially rectangular structure which embraces and is guided vertically on the reduced upper portions of the end The crosshead 22 is shorter than the cross-head 29 and is guided at its ends in slots 32 in the end members 20f the, main frame, and'is adapted to move vertically between the side members 30 and end members 31 of the cross-head 29. The crosshead 29 is adapted to be reciprocated vertically bymeans 0f rods 33, rigidly held at their upper ends to the end caps or cross bars 31 of the cross head. The rods 33 extend through suitable bearings 34 held to the main frame, and

brackets 41 held to the top cross member 3 of the main framefl The cross-head 22 is reciprocated vertically by means of rods 42,

guided in bearings 43 on the main frame,

and provided at their. lower ends with rollers 44' working incam grooves 45 formed in the inner faces of the cams 37. The cross-head 22 moves substantially twice as far as the cross-head 29, and the cam grooves 45 'inthe cams 37 are so shaped as to have substantially twice the throw of the cam grooves 36. The'cross-liead 22 is provided with suitable counter-balancing weights 46 connected therewith by sprocket chains 47 passing over sprocket wheels 48 journaled in the outer ends of the brackets 41 on the top erformance of the cycle of operations upper edges of the end wall-forming blocks 21, between thecentering gages 50 adjustably held to the brackets 88 which support the end blocks 21. The blank is pushed rearwardly between the gages 50.until the rear edge thereof abuts against a depending gage plate 51 vadjustably held to a frame or bracket 53 fixed to'the rear side member downwardly the brackets 88 which support the blocks 21 and gages 50 are moved downwardlyand inwardly toward each other until the blocks 21 engage the table 4, as shown in Fig. 8. This downward and inward movement of the brackets 88 causes the gages 5 0 to move toward each other into en-' apart a distance equal to the length of the shown in Fig. 8. The downward and inward movement of the blocks 21 and gages 50 is impartedthereto by means of bolts 84 carried by the upper ends of the arms 26 which support the brackets 88. The bolts 84 are provided with suitable anti-friction rollers 84*, and extend through slots 85 formed in the lower ends of two pairs of inchned arms 86 which are held at their upper ends at opposite sides of the top cross member 3 of the main frame. As the crosshead 29 moves downwardly it will be obvidepending gage plate 52 pivotally held to the front member 30 of the cross-head 29.

The pivoted gage plate 52 is held in a raised position when the machine is at rest, as

, shown more clearly in Fig. 17, and has a downward and inward movement to assist in centering the blank. Referring particularly to Figs. 4, 8, 17 and 18, the gage plate 52 is adjustably held to a frame 54, which is connected with the front member 30 of the cross-head 29 by horizontal pivot pins 55. The frame 54 is automatically rocked upwardly and held in raised position when the machine comes to rest by means of an upwardly extending arm 56, rigidly held to the frame and provided at its upper end with a suitable roll 57, adapted to engage under a depending cam arm 58, held to the top cross member 3 of the main frame. When the cross-head 29 begins its downward movement after the machine is started the roll 57 will move downwardly and outwardly. and the frame 54 and gage plate 52 will move downwardly and inwardly until the frame 54 is in horizontal position and the plate 52 is in a vertical position with its lower edge in front of the forward edge of the blank. As the plate 52 moves downwardly and inwardly in an arc of a circle until it assumes the vertical position just described. it will force the blank into close engagement with the rear gage plate 51 and thus insure accurate centering of the blank between the gages 50, 51 and 52. The

downward movement of the frame 54 and provided fornormally forcing the arm 56 outwardly.

The cross-heads 22 and 29' move downwardly in unison until the lower edges of the end-wall forming blocks 21 engage the top of the table4, as shown in Fig. 8, whereupon the cross-head 29 ceases to move. The downward movement of the cross-head 29 imparts a downward and inward movement, as heretofore described, to the end-wall forming blocks 21, and causes said blocks to assume the position shown in Figs. 6 and 8, in which position ,the blocks 21 and the side-wall forming plates 20 form a rectangular female die. 'As shown more clearly in Fig. 6, it will be observed that the ends of the members 20 and 21 are spaced slightly apart at the corners to provide a space through which the surplus material in the blank may be pressed by the male die member 19.

After the cross-head 29 comes to rest with the, end-forming members in the position just described, the cross-head 22 continues its downward movement, forcing. the male die member 19 downwardly within the female die member formed by the side-wall forming plates 20 and the end-wall forming blocks 21, as shown in Figs. 6 and 9. pressing the blank into the form shown in Fig. 28, with the folds of surplus material extending radially through the openings heretofore described between the ends of the members 20 and 21. At this point the crosshead 22 comes to rest and the radially extending folds of surplus material are bent against the beveled ends 62 of the end-wall forming blocks 21, at which time the blank is pressed to the form shown in Fig. 29.

The radially extending folds of surplus material are bent to the position shown in Fig. 29 against the beveled ends 62 of the block 21, by means of two pairs of cornerfold benders 63. One pair of corner-fold benders 63 is carried by a horizontally reciprocable slide 64 mounted in a suitable guide-way 65, at the rear of the table 4. and the other pair of benders 63 is carried by a similar horizontally reciprocable slide 64 mounted in a similar guide-way 65 at the front of the table 4. The slides 64 are moved toward and from each other by means of links 66 pivotally held at their outer ends at 67 to depending arms or brackets 68 carried by the slides 64 and pivotally connected at their inner ends at 69 to the upper ends of levers 70. The levers 70 are pivot-ally supported intermediate their ends on horizontal pivots 71 fixed in brackets 72 depending from the table 4, and are provided at their lower 74, and the roller 73 on the other lever operates in a ,cam groove 75, formed in the adjacent faces of two rotary cam disks 76 and 77 fixed on the cam shaft 6. The cam grooves 74 and 75 in the disks 76 and 77 are so shaped as to move the slides 64 toward and from each other, and are timed to move the slides 6 inwardly toward each other after thecross-head 22 comes to rest "with the die block 19 in the position shown in Figs. 6 and 9. When the slides 64 are moved inwardly toward each otherthe corner-fold benders63 move inwardly with the slides, and at the same time are rocked outwardly about the vertically extending pivot bolts 78, by means of which the benders are held to plates 263 adjustably supported on the slides 64. This pivotal movement is imparted-tothe benders by means.

of rolls 79 held to upwardly and inwardly extending brackets 80, by meansof suitable clamping bolts 81,.and working in arcuate slots 82 in the corner-fold benders 63. This compound movement imparted to the benders 63 causes the inclined heads 83 thereof to move diagonallyacmss the corners of the female die formed by the -members 20 and 21 on a line parallel with the beveled ends'62 of theend-wall forming blocks 21, and results in bending theradially extending folds of surplus material shown in Fig. 28,.flatly against the beveled ends 62 of the blocks 21, causing the blank to assure the form shown Fig. 29. v

A continued rotation of the cam shaft '6 causes the levers 70 to move slides 64 outwardly away from each other, thus returning thebenders 63 to their normalposition, where they, remain until again brought into action at the proper timein a subsequent cycle of operations to form another pan;

At this time the cross-head 29'is raised-by the arms 33 and cams 37 until it reaches the position shown inFigs. 1 and 2,"in which-position it remains until the machine is actuated to repeat 'the cycle of operations for forming another pan. The crosshead 22 remains stationary at this time, holdin the die block 19- within the partially ormed pan in the position shown in Figs. 6 and 9. When the cross-head 29 moves upwardly it carries with itthe-end- .wall forming blocks 21. By reason of the inclination of the ends of the 'partially formed pan, it is necessary that the endwall forming blocks 21 shall havean upward and outward movement imparted thereto when the cross-head 29 is returned to its normal position. This upward and outward movement is imparted to the blocks 21 by means. of the bolts 84:, carried by the upper ends of the arms 26 and extending outwardly through slots 85 formed in the lower ends of the inclined arms 86, which are adjustably held at their upper ends at opposite sides of the top cross member 3 of the main frame. The bolts SfLare provided with suitable anti-friction rolls 84, Fig, 20. As the cross-head 29, ,moves upwardly it will be obvious that the bolts brackets .88 which su'pporttheblocks 21,.

with the faces of the corner-fold flattening plates 89, as shown more clearly in, Figs. 6 and 8 p v After the endswall formin blocks 21 have been lifted upwardly an outwardly by the cross-head 29 in the manner just'de scribed, the partly bent corner folds shown in Fig. 9 are flattened against the end walls 18 of the pan by means of the reciprocating corner-fold flattening plates f 89 whichi'at ,this time are moved inwardly toward each other to press the corner; foldsclosely against the end walls of the pan, and are then returned to their normal position. The corner-fold flattening plates 89 are adjustvably held to. slides 90 working in suitable ways or grooves formed at the sides of openings 91 formed in the table, 4. The slides 90 are operated at the proper time by means of cam drums 92 fixed on the cam shaft 6 and provided with suitably formed cam grooves 93 in which rolls 94, held tothe slides 90 by bolts 95, are adapted to operate. The gear wheels .7 which drive the cam shaft 6 are mounted on the hubs of the cam drums 92 and are held to the camdrums by bolts 96. The came 37 77, and 92 are all keyed to the cam shaft 6 to rotate therewith,

as shown more clearly in Fig. 2. After the corner-fold flattening plates 89 are returned to their normal position the cross-head 22 is raised by the action of the cams 37 and re-.'

turned to its normal position, whereupon the clutch members 13 and 13 are automatically disconnected, by mechanism herelnafter more fully described, and the shaft 9 and cam shaft 6 cease to rotate and the machine comes to rest with all the parts in position to repeat the cycle of operations above described. -The pan, which has been formed, as shown in Figs. 30 and 31, may then be removed fromjjthe machine and a similar pan formed in the manner above described.
